Investor Solvency and Market Sanity / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Barry_M_Ferguson
We all know the old saying that ‘the market can remain insane longer than investors can remain solvent’. We are now living the phrase.
4/13/16: JP Morgan bank released quarterly results. Earnings were down 6.7% and revenue was down 3% (even by fraudulent bankster accounting). The stock price went up over 4.5%. Schazaamm!
Ditto for other big banks Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup. Earnings and revenues were down. Stock prices were up.

What's Behind the Longest Stock Market Rally? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
SPX closed above its hourly Cycle Top at 2082.44 last night, but appears to have dropped beneath it in Premarket action.
ZeroHedge comments, “Good news is still bad news after all.
After last night's China 6.7% GDP print which while the lowest since Q1 2009, was in line with expectations, coupled with beats in IP, Fixed Asset Investment and Retail Sales (on the back of $1 trillion in total financing in Q1)...

Stock Market Cycle Top Final Stretch / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The Cycle Top is holding support for SPX at 2079.26 thus far. It appears to have completed all but the last probe higher to complete the pattern. The target range appears to be 2085.88 to 2086.99. It may happen yet this morning or early afternoon, so stay alert. The first sign of a reversal comes when the Cycle Top no longer provides its support.

Why We’re About to See the Largest Wealth Drought in Modern History / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2016
By: Harry_Dent
If there’s anything the Chinese have going for them, it’s savings. Only a handful of countries have a higher savings rate than they do. For a still relatively poor emerging country with GDP per capita about a fifth of that in the U.S., the Chinese get an A+ in this area.But if diversification and asset allocation are the key to preserving wealth, then the Chinese get an F!

Nice Stock Market Session for Wall Street Indeed / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
The stock market indices had a very strong session today. The day started out with a gap up from the get-go, extending the gains, and then consolidating. When the S&P 500 went to higher-highs at 2080, the NDX failed to break out, they pulled back midafternoon, but not too badly. They then came on again, got up to 4560 Nasdaq 100, and 2083 S&P 500.

Stock Market Breaking Out A Bit... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
It wasn't the biggest, most forceful breakout above trend-line resistance I've ever seen, but it was a breakout and should be treated as such unless we immediately lose it back tomorrow. I know that seems unlikely, but this is the stock market, and all possibilities need to be respected. If the breakout had been more forceful then I wouldn't be talking about losing the move up, but it was fairly tepid, so we keep it in the back of our minds.

Stock Market Battle Royale / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
The Dow Premarket has been up as much as 100 points in a battle for market ascendancy. This must be measured against the prior highs at 17914.14 on November 20 and 17977.85 on November 3. The Triangle formation does not appear to be valid, even if the DJIA does not reach either of these levels. Should Wave [v] be complete beneath either of these levels, the DJIA will go down with the rest of the market in the next week to probable new lows.

Saudi-Russia Deal Send Oils Stocks Flying High / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Harry_Boxer
It certainly was turn-around Tuesday for the stock market today as the indices dipped in the morning, and when the news came in that Saudi Arabia and Russia had agreed on a production freeze, the oil's took off running, pulling the rest of the market up with them. The S&P 500 jumped from 2040 to an afternoon high of 2065, a 25-point run-up, which was a very strong move. The Nasdaq 100 exploded from 4435 to over 4500, about a 68-point rally. At the end of the day they backed off a little, and in the last five minutes they came on again to finish firm.

SPX using a long-time support to stay elevated...for now. / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
In a nod to options expiration, it appears that Wave (ii) may extend another day or so. The Cycles Model was strong during the March options expiration. This month the Cycles Model shows weakness.
ZeroHedge reports, “Last week when BofA reported that "everything is being sold" as its smart money clients (institutional, private and hedge funds) dumped stocks for a whopping 10th consecutive week, it said that "BofAML clients were net sellers of US stocks for the tenth consecutive week, in the amount of $3.98bn. Net sales last week were the largest since September, and the fifth-largest in our data history (since 2008). Since early March, all three client groups (institutional clients, private clients and hedge funds) have been sellers of US stocks."

Stock Market Late Day Selling Again....Oscillators Up High And Crossing Down.. / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Jack_Steiman
A second consecutive day for the markets with a late push lower after being up strongly for the day. The Friday push lower still allowed for some slight gains, but a black candle was printed, which should have led to a down open this morning. Not to be as the market gapped up big this morning due to more fed stuff. Ms Yellen was meeting President Obama, and the usual bulls said why not, let's get this market even higher. It worked well, until the last hour of action when a big sell hit, which was enough to turn all the indexes slightly red for the day.

Energy Sector Set To Save the Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Over the past few week, we have seen the price of crude oil pullback from its recent high of $42 per barrel level. Last week April 4-8th the price of crude oil pulled back to a technical support zone and then posted a strong gain closing the weekly chart at the high.
Based on short-term technical indicators, along with the current momentum which crude oil has, I feel we will see the recent highs of $42 a barrel tested once again.

SPX May Have Topped this Morning / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX topped out at 2062.93 and promptly turned back down. New short positions may be added here. Confirmation comes beneath Short-term support at 2051.37. Stops may be put in at 2065.00 to 2067.50.
ZeroHedge comments, “This morning's 160 point spike in Dow Futures - out of nowhere - was predicated on hopes of an Italian bank bailout. While this may seem like an odd reason to "buy buy buy" US equities, in the new normal, it really is not.. and when put in context, the 'bounce' in EU banks should do more to scare than soften investors' concerns...”

Time to Invest for Stagflation / Stock-Markets / Stagflation
By: Michael_Pento
Whether you call it a 1970's style stagflation or, as we call it, a recessflation, investors need to prepare their portfolios to profit from a protracted period of rising prices in the context of zero growth. Here are some facts: Growth in the U.S. has averaged just 2% since 2010. However, Q4 2015 GDP growth grew at a 1.4% annualized rate and the Atlanta Fed model has Q1 GDP growth slowing to just 0.1%. The simple truth is that the rate of growth is slowing towards 0%, just as asset prices continue to rise to record levels due to vast intervention from central banks.

Bank Bail-Ins In EU as Heta "Bailed In" In Austria / Stock-Markets / Credit Crisis 2016
By: GoldCore
Bank bail-ins in the EU are here after Austria’s financial markets regulator FMA imposed a hefty haircut on creditors in an Austrian bank. Creditors in the bank Heta Asset Resolution will receive less than half of their money back according to the country’s financial regulator, the FMA.
Senior bondholders in the so called “bad bank” could expect to receive around €0.46 for each euro which would be paid from the realisation of assets by 2020, according to the FMA statement. It said that this had been calculated using “very conservative” assumptions.

The Curious Case of Iran’s Stock Market / Stock-Markets / Iran
By: Dylan_Waller
The recent removal of sanctions against Iran will prove to serve as a major economic catalyst for Iran, and investors should begin to start noting the opportunities of Iran’s stock market and economy. Iran is by no means a small contributor to the global economy, and apart from the country’s ability to thrive amid low oil prices, it is also a key global contributor in the following areas:
